Here is the official announcement for the University of Florida Fall High School Tournament that will be mailed to the high schools on our mailing list. If you think that you are not on our mailing list and would like to receive a registration form, send an e-mail to (ufcbowl at grove dot ufl dot edu) and we will send you a copy as soon as possible. ***************** The University of Florida College Bowl Team would like to extend an invitation to your school to compete in the University of Florida Fall High School Academic Tournament on Dec. 6th – 7th, 2002. Once again we will have teams competing in upper and lower divisions. Players who are freshmen or sophomores are eligible to play in Division II, while any players may play in Division I. A team is eligible to play in Division II if all of its players are eligible. The purpose of Division II is to allow schools and players new to the world of academic competition the ability to gain experience by playing other novice teams. The two divisions will compete separately and separate prizes will be awarded to the winners of Divisions I and II. This year's tournament will include a maximum of 44 teams from throughout the Southeast – 28 teams in Division I and 16 teams in Division II. Registrations will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. We are limiting registration to one team per school per division, i.e. a school may register one Division I team and one Division II team if they wish. Depending on demand, schools may be permitted additional teams after November 6th – indicate on your registration form if you would like to bring an extra team in either Division and we will respond to your requests on November 6th. The tournament format will tentatively consist of a divisional Round Robin with playoffs Saturday afternoon. Check-in will be at 3:00 pm on Friday on the second floor of the J. Wayne Reitz Union. There will be a brief welcome meeting at 5:00 pm. Competition will begin at 6:00 pm on Friday and will last until 9:30-10:00 pm at which time we will break for the night. A light breakfast will be provided at the Reitz Union on Saturday morning at 8:00 am. Rounds will start around 9:30 am and will continue until 4:00 pm with a break for lunch. The registration fee will be $80.00 per team with the following adjustments: $10.00 discount per fully functional buzzer system, $25.00 additional if you wish to purchase a copy of all of the rounds used in the tournament and a minimum fee of $50.00 per team. The questions will be printed and collated for your use in future practices. The deadline for registration is Wednesday, November 20th, but space is limited and early registration is recommended. Registration may be faxed or mailed to us. Either the actual check or proof of purchase is acceptable. All payment information is on the enclosed page.
